It’s All In The Eyes

It’s all  in the eyes.  If you have every really looked at an alpaca you know what I am talking about.  I don’t know if its the way the eyes sit in the skull or if it is those long flowing eye lashes but alpacas eyes have a way of swallowing you in.  Marissa’s eyes are huge.  When she looks at you she gets close up to your face and looks deep into your soul.  Immediatly you know that she is connecting with you and that she has important things to say.  I feel a responsibility to listen to each and every word.  Maya has soft searching eyes.  She looks at me as if she is unsure about her place in the herd and maybe the world.  She asks for attention through her eyes and yet is not trusting enough to receive the attention when it is offered.  Melody’s eyes are always questioning what we are up to.  Her eyes look at us with suspision as if she knows we are up to something we are not telling her about.  Sharona’s eyes are deep and thoughtful.  She has known humans who couldn’t be trusted and yet her look lets you know she is willing to trust again.  She has eyes of forgivness and willingness to move forward.  Finally the crias.  Their eyes are ones of anticipation and excitment of new mornings and chases on the grass.  Their eyes are curious about me, about the herd and the small bug crawling on their mother.

Yes, if you really want to know alpacas it is All in the Eyes.
